You can unlock potential and build a brighter, more compassionate world with us

Children's potential is the same everywhere but opportunities are not

High School completion rates in the areas of Zambia, India and Nepal we select from are as low as 3%. Recognising the uniqueness of every child's fullest potential, we educate beyond the classroom to develop future-oriented vocational skills and nurture emotional, social and mental well-being. Our approach provides for a future generation of compassionate global citizens equipped with the ‘Head, Heart and Hands’ to define their lives according to their potential, not their backgrounds.

We see a world where every child’s innate talents, empathy, and rich diversity of lived experience are nurtured to shape a brighter tomorrow for all humanity. Together with our supporters we invest in students; our students then go on to change their world.

Pestalozzi International writes success stories

"My time at Pestalozzi changed my life completely. I got academic knowledge and also learnt how to use it to bring positive change. It makes me so happy to give back and help children like me"

At World Bank, Jyoti helps the Nepalese government to improve the lives of the country’s poor and vulnerable populations. In addition, she co-founded Samaanta Foundation which provides higher education opportunities for children from poor backgrounds.
